  • Title: [Pathomorphological aspects of acute appendicitis].
    Author: Gerharz CD, Gabbert HE.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1997 Jan; 68(1):6-11. PubMed ID: 9132350.
    Abstract:
    Appendectomy is one of the most frequent surgical procedures. Accuracy in the clinical diagnosis of acute non-specific appendicitis, however, suffers from the fact that the symptoms and clinical findings of acute appendicitis can be mimicked by many other abdominal diseases. The clinical diagnosis of acute appendicitis, therefore, can only be definitely confirmed by pathomorphological analysis, the criteria of which are reviewed in this paper. Special emphasis is given to distinct variants of acute appendicitis and the significance of neuroappendicopathy.
